Way too many bytes in one basket makes for one very big single point of failure. This is the cost of an absurdly hyper-centralised fast-food-like data center culture.

Signal++ down, sucks, but it's seeing fundamentals like banks & public sector services break that stings most.

But hey, maybe this is what it tales to push more govs to actual #datasovereignty, investing in locally owned data centers or building out their team & hosting on-prem

Hi @campuscodi,
We’re investigating Huawei Cloud’s terms of service and their implications for European data sovereignty.
Their customer agreement and compliance documents suggest Huawei retains the right to transfer personal data to servers in mainland China under certain conditions.
Given your expertise, we’d value your view:
Could this pose a systemic risk for EU-based organizations relying on Huawei Cloud?

IO+ reviewed Dutch Parliament voting for the Hague Innovation Check. Result: Volt Netherlands ranked #1 on innovative voting about data. Data sovereignty is something you do:

🔁 Practice what you preach: Volt moved from Meta Workplace to European Haiilo.
🏛 Government sets the standard: open-source-by-default + European cloud.
🇪🇺 Build scale: support EuroStack & EU cooperation so tech follows public values.

Most every implementor of #SelfHosting and #DataSovereignty for community groups, is leftie or at least sympathetic.

And the pressing need to be independent from billionaire-owned and right-wing-supporting megaplatforms, should have obvious salience to any leftie organising group.

Yet when we suggest it's worth their effort to own their communication platform, to own their document store, to own their organising platform? They dissemble and whine and resist like the worst stereotype of boomers who want nothing to change.

#FreeSoftware nerds are here for you, leftie groups. We're even cheaper to hire!
